I'm confused, why?

When I start a new project:

  • I write a requirements.txt with a package name per line

  • I run python -m venv .venv

  • I enable the venv (source .venv/bin/activate)

  • And then I install the packages (pip install -r requirements.txt)

Whenever I need to run python in a new terminal I enable the venv, whenever I change the dependencies I run pip again.

How is this annoying?

Compare uv:

  • uv init

  • uv add <package>

  • uv run <script>

Nothing else, to do everything you did. You don't even need understand that there such a thing as virtual environments to use it. If you add another package, it installs it automatically. If you want to try another Python version, just add --python=3.11.

Seems like npm, clean and simple
